Nope - anything can happen and I would hate to see that Other Mob fluke their way into a GF (like 2006). Gill stated this morning he would like to see all 18 teams finish the season on 11 and 11 - teams that try, not some corporate idiots that put the cue in the rack when Fyfe gets injured.
What's the matter with a professional team, full of professional footballers actually trying to play a full season for a change. We - that is, we the Fremantle supporters - haven't had a full season of games since RoLy arrived. Let's be like Footscray in 2016 for a change and try our hearts out week in/week out, get to the Big One and win it.If we've got a game in Tassie, Darwin, Cairns or wherever, let's send our best squad to win the bloody thing - no more mamby-pamby sly strategy save the best for later baloney - let's go down to Kardinia Park and beat the Cats (instead of whining about not being in Melbourne).
I hate byes, I hate new math formulations of a football season, corporate think tanks made up of morons - and State of Origin is now a Qld/NSW thing.
